What is Congregational Health?
Congregational health is the focus of a congregation—an assembly of people who meet for worship and religious instruction in a designated locale—that is dedicated to being sound in body, soul, and spirit and to experiencing freedom from physical disease or pain. This term may also be applied to the overall state of health of a congregation, its collective wellbeing and maturity. Congregational health unites the best practices of:
- Public health−Protecting and improving community health through such means as applying preventive medicine, providing health education, controlling communicable diseases, and monitoring environmental hazards.
- Faith-based principles−Relying on the belief that God is the Great Physician who has the ultimate power to heal and cure with or without the use of medical practices; using wisdom (applied knowledge) to make consensual and informed treatment decisions; turning to God-given resources such as health care providers, pharmaceuticals, hospital treatment services, and clinics as needed; and leveraging the network and support offered within the faith community.
